Cooking everything in your slow-cooker not only makes your job as host easier, but it also tends to lead to tastier snacks. Your dips will have richer flavors as they intermingle with each other for longer, and your meats will be tenderer, as the spices and sauces will have had plenty of time to cook together. And it doesn’t have to be just the savory snacks that are made in this time-saving kitchen tool: Chocolate and peanut butter fudge will be hugely popular with all your sweet-toothed guests, and, for once, it doesn’t require you to stand over the stove to cook it carefully for several hours.
